Rebirth of Li Xiaoqi

"Are you the actor who was rumored to have an affair with Mo Mo?"

Seeing Li Xiaoqi's embarrassing expression, Chi Xiu immediately reacted, and waved her hands repeatedly to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, that...me."

Chi Xiu's words were indeed not very pleasing to the ear, but she could feel that she was not malicious. Li Xiaoqi first smiled in embarrassment, and then said: "It doesn't matter, but, that, the scandal has been clarified. Sister Mo Mo and I are not the same as the news. kind of relationship.”

"Oh, we know this, I'm sorry, this girl always speaks like this without thinking." Shuang Yida said first, and at the same time apologized again.

At this time, Li Xiaoqi also returned to his usual appearance, smiling, "It's okay, I have recently awakened my immune talent, and I am invulnerable to all poisons."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Lin Zhili had been looking at him with doubts in his eyes, "What are you doing?"

"It feels like my own child has grown up."

"what?"

Lin Zhili smiled, "If you were in this situation before, you would definitely know nothing but be in a daze, but now you can cope with it with a smile, it seems that you have really grown a lot."

Li Xiaoqi was also touched by what Lin Zhili said. After starting to work as an actor, he can learn new knowledge almost every day, and he is much better at dealing with people than when he was in college. Especially since this year, facing For this kind of interviews and activities, he learned new experience from every job, and gradually he was able to deal with all kinds of tricky questions from reporters without Guan Yong's help.

Of course, although he has made progress, he also knows that he still has many shortcomings in his on-the-spot reaction and interpersonal communication, but knowing that he has grown, and being praised by Lin Zhili, Li Xiaoqi laughed happily "hehe".

"You become silly when you smile." Lin Zhili reached out and rubbed his head.

For Lin Zhili's action of patting or rubbing his hair, Li Xiaoqi is completely used to it, and he doesn't feel that there is any intimacy in this action. Sometimes he even complains in his heart, why he has never felt the feeling of "touching the head to kill" Powerful.

The two involved are used to "touching the head to kill", but other people dare to be surprised by this action. Shuang Yida has known Lin Zhili for so many years, and has hardly seen him do this to others. My mental age is much older than my peers, and the friends I met are all older. Although I have a good relationship with my friends, I have never acted so close.

Seeing Lin Zhili bring Li Xiaoqi to the store, he was already surprised, but now seeing the interaction between the two, he was even more surprised secretly, and silently revised his impression of Li Xiaoqi in his heart.I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that the atmosphere emanating from the two of them is not as simple as "just friends".

"Just take a look in the store, I'll talk to Yida and the others for a while." Lin Zhili said to Li Xiaoqi, and then led Shuang Yida and Chi Xiu to the cashier.

Until now, Li Xiaoqi had the opportunity to look at this bookstore.After a brief reading, he found that the most in the store were all kinds of teaching aids, ranging from elementary school to high school. He saw those "Huanggang Secret Volume", "Three-Year College Entrance Examination and Five-Year Simulation" and various composition encyclopedias. , Li Xiaoqi felt very nostalgic.

In addition to teaching materials, there are various masterpieces, the four major masterpieces, and translations of major foreign masterpieces, and the rest are some popular magazines, such as "Readers", "Youth Digest", "Yilin" and so on. .

After looking around and looking around again, Li Xiaoqi found that there was no sign of comics in the store. Not only were there no comics, but there were also no serials of popular novels. Thinking angrily, I must give Li Ge some advice later!

There was no reading material that could arouse his interest. Looking at it, he felt that Lin Zhili seemed to be talking for a while, so he picked up a copy of "Reader" and read it.

After reading two articles, he heard Lin Zhili calling himself, Li Xiaoqi put the magazine back in its original place and walked over.

"Let's get the luggage in the car." Lin Zhili said.

"Oh, good." Li Xiaoqi responded, and walked outside behind Lin Zhili.

He opened the back seat door and was about to take off his luggage when Li Xiaoqi was stopped by Lin Zhili.

"Xiao Qi, come here." Lin Zhili opened the trunk and waved to him.

As soon as he got to the back of the car, Lin Zhili handed him two exquisitely packaged pouches, and put a dozen cans of Fanta in his arms, Li Xiaoqi looked at him suspiciously.

"Those two are gifts for Yida and the others." Lin Zhili explained to Li Xiaoqi, "We are a small town, and the only drinks we have are Coke and Sprite. Fanta is not sold."

After picking up the car in Y City, Lin Zhili stopped by the nearby shopping mall to buy gifts for the two employees of his bookstore. When passing by the convenience store, he remembered that Li Xiaoqi liked to drink Fanta more, and worried that he would not be used to other drinks when he came to town. , I also bought a dozen Fanta.

Li Xiaoqi wanted to say "It doesn't need to be so troublesome", but he has already bought everything, so it is more appropriate to thank him honestly, showing a happy smile, "Brother Li, thank you!"

After closing the trunk, taking a detour to the rear seat to take down his heart, Lin Zhili smiled and said, "I guess you bought the right taste, right?"

"Grape-flavored! That's right!" The color of the bottle can tell the taste, after all, Li Xiaoqi won't make a mistake after drinking it for so many years.

Back to the bookstore again, after giving gifts to the two of them, Lin Zhili took Li Xiaoqi through the bookstore, walked out from the back door of the bookstore, and saw three or four small western-style buildings with small courtyards not far in front of him. Go to the small building facing the back door of the bookstore, use the key to open the iron gate of the yard, and walk about twenty steps to reach the main entrance.

There were several layers of locks on the door, Lin Zhili turned the key several times before opening the door, and said as he walked in, "It's like being in your own home, don't be restrained."

Entering from the entrance, the first thing that catches the eye is the spacious living room. There is an ultra-thin LCD TV on the wall. Li Xiaoqi doesn't know how many inches the TV is. He can only feel it intuitively. The TV is so big!

Even if Lin Zhili didn't say anything, Li Xiaoqi wouldn't be too restrained. After putting the drink on the table, he sat down on the sofa, relaxed as if paralyzed.Lin Zhili opened the window to ventilate the room, and then he heard Li Xiaoqi's voice: "Master, is this house just built?"

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Xiaoqi felt that the whole yard was too empty, which was in stark contrast to Easy's vibrant small yard.After entering the door and sitting down, the small building gave him the feeling that it was brand new and unpopular, that's why he was so puzzled.

"No, it has been built for almost seven or eight years."

"It looks like new. Don't your parents live here?"

"Both my parents passed away." Lin Zhili said, and sat down on the sofa with two cups.

"Oh." For a while, Li Xiaoqi couldn't think of how to answer the conversation, so he fell silent.

Moving a cup in front of Li Xiaoqi, Lin Zhili said: "The tap water here is brought up from the well. It is healthy and clean and can be drunk directly, and it is a little sweet. You can drink it."

Seeing Li Xiaoqi pick up the cup to drink water without hesitation, Lin Zhili had a slight smile in his eyes, he could always feel the other party's trust in him from Li Xiaoqi's inadvertent movements, this kind of trust made him feel happy.

"My real name is Lin Li, you should know about this, right?"

Li Xiaoqi nodded.

"I remember that time you guessed that my father's surname was Lin and my mother's surname was Li."

"correct."

"Although I guessed wrong, the direction is right. My father is married, so in fact, my mother's surname is Lin, and my father's surname is Li."

Li Xiaoqi's eyes widened a little, the amount of information is a bit big!

"Heh!" Li Xiaoqi's shocked appearance obviously pleased Lin Zhili, making him laugh softly. "Although I was a married woman, my mother was in poor health and passed away shortly after giving birth to me. After that, my father didn't ask for any money from my mother's natal family. He brought me to this town and raised me alone. .”

Lin Zhili doesn't know why he said these words to Li Xiaoqi, but for some reason, at this moment, he just wants to tell him what he has never said to others, and when facing simple-minded people, anyone will relax his vigilance Bar.

Li Xiaoqi didn't speak, he also knew that he just had to listen carefully at this moment.

"Do you know that I quit the entertainment industry for three years?"

Li Xiaoqi nodded, "I know."

"At that time, my father was diagnosed with cancer, so I retreated back to take care of him. Thinking about it now, those three years were the time when I communicated with my father the most. Later, my father's health became worse and worse, and finally he had to live in Y The central hospital in the city, the car we drove today, and the house in City Y were all bought for convenience at that time." Lin Zhili's eyes showed memories and nostalgia.

In those three years, he took over the work of the bookstore. Although Xingwen Town is not big, it has all kinds of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Because there is only one bookstore in the town, the school will order materials from their store, so every few days He has to ride a tricycle to deliver goods to the school.

Carrying stacks of heavy books up the stairs, this is something he has never done before. Although he helped in the store before, he always helped with the cash register, displaying shelves, and his father never let him do such physical work as delivering goods. Do.There are many things that can only be known through experience. Thinking of his father delivering goods from floor to floor in these years, Lin Zhili's heart is full of sadness.

It is precisely because he understood his father's hard work that he did not close the bookstore after his father passed away. He did not want this bookstore full of his father's painstaking efforts to disappear.

"During that time, I was busy with some so-called 'little things' every day, and it was precisely because of this that my heart, which was somewhat exaggerated by the entertainment circle, calmed down. It can be said that there is no such thing as the three years Grinding, I can't make it to today. So, Xiaoqi."

Lin Zhili changed the subject and looked at Li Xiaoqi, "No matter how commendable and proud your achievements are now, you must not be proud, anxious, or relaxed. In the entertainment industry, once a flaw is revealed, the next step may be irreversible. Just Just like this incident, Momo was 'anxious' because of the breakup, and you were also relaxed, that's why the photos of the late-night rendezvous were taken, right? Without those photos, this incident would not have become such a big deal. "

Knowing that Lin Zhili was reminding himself, Li Xiaoqi accepted it humbly, nodded and said: "I know about Brother Li, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Just pay attention."

Then I turned on the TV, and chatted with each other while watching TV, but I felt relaxed and leisurely.
